Theory of Cost and Production Functions / / Ronald William Shephard.

A sequel to his frequently cited Cost and Production Functions (1953), this book offers a unified, comprehensive treatment of these functions which underlie the economic theory of production.The approach is axiomatic for a definition of technology, by mappings of input vectors into subsets of output...
